NEW MEMBER Build. 1995 4x4 Pickup Paint Job

First thread for me here but I will start with a thanks to every one on the forum. I have found tons of useful write ups and wanted to share my progress. Along the road I took the time/risk and painted my truck with rattle cans. I prepped the vehicle for a full on paint job and just altered the final step to be spray paint. I could not be more excited about how it has turned out (and lasted).

The color is Semi-Gloss black. The truck was very lame upon purchase but as you can see from the pictures, it has turned out quite well I think.

Let me know what you guys think. Please limit negative comments, it's just an old pickup.

1995 Toyota Pickup with 3.0 V6 4x4 194,xxx miles. Cold Air Intake. Borla Catback Exhaust. Grant Steering wheel (Not pictured)

See link in first post for the bulk of the pictures. I am unfamiliar with posting on forums.

I am working on posting the bulk of the pictures to the forum. In the meantime could someone confirm that the link I have posted in the first post works correctly?

I checked your link in the first post and it is working. Your truck does look better and turned out really well. Welcome to Yotatech.

thanks a lot. I really appreciate that. You've done a crazy amount of work on your rebuilds. Definitely out of my league.

Moderators I have tried editing the title a week ago but it is still not changed. I must be doing something incorrectly. Please change. Thank you.

I love the color change. The black looks great. ESPECIALLY for a rattle can paint job.

Thanks a lot. I was pretty surprised myself. Prep work and proper technique went a long way. It has held up very well. I am very pleased.

What are you wanting to change the title too? You are in the correct build section. It looks good to me.

What size tires and wheels do you have? They look great. They really compliment the stance.

Wow. The truck looks 1000 times better under your ownership. Are those Eagle wheels?


I looked at a 1995 Tacoma that had the 3.4 engine. They must have changed the model in the middle of the year. The front end of it looked more like the front of a 3rd gen 4Runner.

Looks much better. Glad you ditched the red liped rims too. How long has the paint been on the truck? Did you clear coat it?
